If you prefer a hairless body, you’ve probably experimented with many hair removal products and procedures at home. We are sure that many techniques work well, but the results are temporary, and you must repeat the procedure after a week or a mere few days. This is just one the reasons why so many people turn to laser hair removal. Let’s delve into the traditional methods we’ve all used to remove hair.

Shaving

Shaving is the most common, cheapest way to eliminate unwanted hair at home. It provides great results quickly for smooth legs and underarms, but hair growth never stops, and your smooth legs can disappear in a matter of a day. Every morning you’ll be greeted by stubble and must repeat the procedure, taking up loads of your weekly time, not to mention nicks and cuts and ingrown hairs.

Waxing

Waxing has been the go-to hair removal option for legs, back, arms and bikini areas and was the popular method for many years before laser hair removal popped onto the scene. Waxing can be more painful than shaving, although results will last longer as the hair follicle is destroyed during the process. The in-between phase is the downside of waxing. You have to let your hair grow out long enough for proper wax adherence before removing the hair, leaving you often not looking smooth and groomed.

Hair removal creams

Due to ingrown hairs, rashes or general nicks and cuts from shaving, many people prefer hair removal creams that you simply rub on and wipe off with a cloth after the recommended time. Why not? Depending on the brand, the unpleasant odor of the hair removal cream can linger in your house for hours. Then there’s the mess left after rubbing off the cream, just to be left with a few remaining stubborn hairs.

Why continue to struggle like this when there is an alternative, professional solution?

What are the Benefits of Laser Hair Removal vs. Traditional Hair Removal?

There are certain things you should know before your laser hair removal appointment. Laser hair removal and traditional hair removal methods both have their advantages and disadvantages. Here are some benefits of laser hair removal compared to traditional hair removal:

1. Longer-lasting results: Laser hair removal can provide long-lasting hair reduction. Unlike traditional methods like waxing or shaving that only remove hair temporarily, laser hair removal damages the hair follicles to reduce the growth of hair in the treated area. You can expect a significant reduction in hair growth after several treatments.
2. Precision: Laser hair removal targets hair follicles specifically, without damaging the surrounding skin. This makes it an ideal option for removing hair in sensitive areas like the face, underarms, and bikini line.
3. Faster treatment: Laser hair removal treatments are generally faster compared to traditional hair removal methods. For instance, a full Brazilian laser hair removal session takes approximately 30-45 minutes.
4. Less discomfort: Laser hair removal is generally less painful than traditional methods like waxing or epilating. Most people describe the sensation as a mild discomfort or warmth. Additionally, the procedure can be adjusted to accommodate different skin types and sensitivity levels.
5. Cost-effective: While laser hair removal is more expensive upfront, it can be more cost-effective in the long run. You'll save money on buying shaving creams, razors, and waxing products over time.
6. Improved skin appearance: Laser hair removal can also help improve the appearance of the skin in the treated area. The laser emits light energy that stimulates collagen production, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.

Laser Hair Removal - What Precisely Is It

The first thing we want to mention here is that this method will give you more permanent hair reduction and more time to yourself as you see how easy and effective the hair removal sessions are.

What happens during a session? We use a laser with a concentrated beam to zap the hair follicle beneath the skin so that it dies and falls out. This means we eliminate the hair at the root.

Much like waxing, your procedure will be repeated every few weeks because we must ensure that we target all the hairs as they grow at different cycles. Fine hairs are also hard to target, while big coarse hairs (usually the ones you care to get rid of first) are easier for the laser to pick up and destroy. But once completed, you’ll never have to shave again.

What’s the inconvenience of this? Firstly, we don’t recommend shaving between sessions until the night before, but once the hair has been lasered at the perfect growth stage, it’s gone for good. After completing your recommended number of sessions, you will be hair-free and set for good. Perhaps a maintenance session or two a year may be all you require.

Now, why wouldn’t you want the same type of inconvenience as waxing for a short while, but in return, receive lasting results, at affordable prices, without harming your skin?
